Taylor Swift picked up her 13th career Grammy — reminding the uninitiated that it’s her luck number — with a Best Pop Vocal Album win for Midnights. During her acceptance speech, she said: “I want to say thank-you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you the last for two years, which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19th. It’s called The Tortured Poets Department.”

And to be on the stage with her is amazing. I’m so grateful.”

As for the performances, U2 gave the TV world its first look inside the Las Vegas Sphere, playing its one-off 2013 single “Atomic City.”

Travis Scott sang a smoke-and-pyrotechnics-fueled medley of his “I Know?” and “Fe!n,” smashing folding chairs onstage.

Cyrus played “Flowers” on TV for the first time. In her intro, she said, “I just want to be the artist that my idols would be proud of — Tina, Patti, Dolly, Celine, Whitney.” Cyrus added that it’s just the third time she’s played the song live. And she ended it with a very deliberate mic-stand drop.

A cheek-bloodied Olivia Rodrigo played her Song and Record of the Year nominee “Vampire,” which topped the charts in the U.S., UK and more than a half-dozen other countries.

In a taped intro, Combs said it was his “favorite song before I knew what a favorite song was. … I’d been playing that song since I could play guitar, honestly.”

Dua Lipa opened the show with a medley of “Houdini’ and her brand-new single “Training Session,” which included a snippet of “Dance the Night” from Barbie.

Back to Swift, who dominated 2023 with her Eras Tour concerts and movie and at one time had five albums in the Billboard Top 10 at the same time — the first living artist to do so. She is nominated tonight for Album of the Year (Midnights) and Song of the Year (“Anti-Hero”) and Record of the Year. She is one of six to land noms in each of the three marquee categories along with SZA, Batiste, Cyrus and Rodrigo. If she wins tonight, Swift would set the record for most career Album of the Year Grammys, with four, and she’s only 34. Right now she is tied for the mark with Paul Simon, Frank Sinatra and Stevie Wonder.
